Nobody warns you about the first postpartum p**p 💩😅
One of the simplest things you can do after a vaginal birth is support your perineum with a clean pad, washcloth, or your hand while having a bowel movement.
Why?
Because it can help you feel more supported and comfortable while your tissues are healing.
But here’s what I wish more women knew:
Preparing for postpartum recovery actually starts during pregnancy.
As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I spend a lot of time helping moms prepare not just for labor and birth, but also for what comes after.
In my Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth class, we cover:
• Pelvic floor relaxation and coordination
• Breathing and pushing strategies
• Creating space in the pelvis for birth
• Birth positions and pushing mechanics
• Early postpartum recovery tips (including things like the first postpartum p**p!)
My goal is to help you walk into birth feeling more confident, more prepared, and knowing how to work with your body during labor and recovery.
✨ Next class: June 27th
